Caption

This panorama has nothing excepctional, technically. Actually it´s not even done with the gear I´m used to, I had to use my "Plan B," so to speak, but it all adds up. It depicts my good-bye homage to the old-school advertising folks of the city I live in now and I´m leaving - after January 5th I´m moving to Brussels, Belgium, to work in a big studio; that´s why I no longer have my professional gear. BTW, I sold it in Brazil to buy newer ones there.

These are the people that, in a way, defined the advertising in Curitiba - and some still do, by teaching in colleges and being still on the job. The portraits are in this room, which is used for workshops and fast classes, permanently.

Symbolically someone said that it will be like the old folks are staring the newbies to see if they are doing well. The pictures can be seen here.
